The Free Land of Puerto Thelosia is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5.333 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Esperanza. The average income tax rate is 59%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and Puerto Thelosia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime is totally unknown. Puerto Thelosia's national animal is the whooping veras, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the nyan.

Puerto Thelosia is ranked 114th in Europe and 39,053rd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 22 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
